UYU announce surprising roster change for CWL Pro League just days after acquiring Methodz With just days before the Call of Duty World League\u2019s Pro League kicks off, UYU have announced a roster move that has caught many by surprise. On January 30, the org announced that Anthony \u2018Methodz\u2019 Zinni will be placed into the starting squad for the upcoming Pro League, taking the place of Tristan \u2018Spoof\u2019 Green. Methodz was acquired by UYU on January 28 from G2 Esports, who were unable to qualify for the Pro League after being eliminated from the recent qualifying tournament. After initially being brought on as a substitute, Methodz has now been inserted into a starting role, and will join Skyz, Proto, Mayhem, and Knight in the team when the Pro League begins on February 4. UYU | @Methodz will be moving to the starting roster heading into Week One of @CODWorldLeague. pic.twitter.com\/RHhauG6SzT \u2014 (@UYU_GG) January 30, 2019 This roster move has caused quite a stir as Spoof had a very emotional response to being demoted to the substitute\u2019s role and essentially losing his status as a pro player just weeks after helping UYU qualify for the Pro League. \u201cBeing the good guy does not always result in good scenarios,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cPeople are lucky I\u2019m a good person. So many things could be said right now.\u201d \u201cHad every opportunity to make my stats higher but let my teammates have weapon specialists and stuns so they could be better. YIKES!\u201d \u201cMy mom came in my room and I had to look her in the eye and tell her I worked my ass off to become a pro only to not play a single match in the Pro League and be dropped back to the amateurs. Can\u2019t even look her in the eye without crying.\u201d Was holding it together pretty well then my mom came in my room and I had to look her in the eye and tell her I worked my ass off to become a pro only to not play a single match in the pro league and be dropped back to the amateurs. Can’t even look her in the eye without crying. \u2014 TRISTAN (@TristanSpoof) January 30, 2019 UPDATE Spoof also went on to reveal that it was Christopher \u2018Parasite\u2019 Duarte, not Methodz, who had been the players\u2019 first choice to recruit for the substitute role, but that the org overruled them and decided to go with the latter. \u201cWe chose Haggy and UYU chose Methodz. Said it would help with sponsorship requests equating to more money for us,\u201d he tweeted. \u201cTeam had no idea UYU\u2019s plans for it until late last night. Then they voted me out.\u201d Methodz has also since put out a statement since the announcement: \u201cSituations like these are always tough because there are always things that can\u2019t be said. It\u2019s impossible to not feel absolutely horrible but, at the same time, any player in my position would have to accept a starting role in the league.\u201d Some have been criticizing Methodz for apparently \u201cswindling\u201d his way to the starting role, although eUnited\u2019s coach \u2018Saintt\u2019 revealed that it was UYU who pushed for the change. He actually didn\u2019t swindle anything, the org pushed for it \u2014 eU Saintt (@BrianSaintt) January 30, 2019 UYU will be playing in Division A of the Pro League that features some powerhouse teams such as OpTic Gaming, Luminosity Gaming, and Evil Geniuses.
